"Vatican Disturbed by Reich’s Refusal – 7 "

"Cannot Send Men or Money Into Poland for Work of Charity"

"The German Government has refused to permit representatives of the holy see to see the Polish clergy and Catholics in Western Poland, it was authoritatively stated in Vatican quarters today..."

Least we forget -- of the approx. six million Poles who died in WWII, half were Jews, the other half Catholics.
Already in early 1940, the Vatican is deeply concerned, and Nazi death machines were not even fully cranked up yet.

But their refusal to allow Vatican representatives into Poland speaks as sinisterly as anything about the Nazis' future intentions.
